Notes

This sauce can be whisked, but it might have little bits of peanut butter. If you are putting it into a hot stir fry, this will melt easily. if are using it for a dressing or dipping sauce, I highly recommend blending it to make it smooth.
Storage: Place the sauce in an airtight container or tightly sealed jar and refrigerate for up to 1 week. 
Freezing: Place the sauce in a freezer-safe container, silicone ice cube tray, or a resealable freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months.
